Kid Rock Unveils New Album ‘Sweet Southern Sugar,’ Announces Tour

While things appear to be slowing down around his supposed Michigan senatorial bid, it looks like Kid Rock will stay busy tending to his more familiar occupation. Announced today, the provocative rocker will release 11th studio album, titled Sweet Southern Sugar, on Nov. 3, which will include his three most recently released singles, "Greatest Show on Earth" "Po-Dunk" and “Tennessee Mountain Top."

The album will be Kid Rock's first release since 2015's First Kiss and will be followed by an extensive North American tour (dates below). The tour, dubbed the "Greatest Show on Earth Tour" (taking its name from the Sweet Southern Sugar track) will kick off in January at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and wind down in Las Vegas in March at Mandalay Bay Events Center.

In addition to commencing the "Greatest Show on Earth" in Nashville, Sweet Southern Sugar will also mark Kid Rock's first album recorded in the fabled Music City. Rock, who began his career in 1990 as a rapper, has famously leaned heavily into southern-influenced music since breaking out with the diamond-selling rap-metal landmark Devil Without a Cause in 1998. So Nashville seems like a logical musical habitat for the man who boasted "I drank with Hank / Talked blues with Billy / Rocked with Run / Sang with Shotgun Willie."

Tickets for concert dates will go on sale Nov. 3, the same day as the release of Sweet Southern Sugar. Fans who pre-order the album will be able to access the pre-sale for the tour on Nov. 1. You can find the tour dates and track listing below and get full ticketing information at his website.
